The 5531 is indeed my grail, I heard they will come out with a platinum version this year. If so I need to start working on strengthening my profile at the boutique.....

So a very good friend of mine got into watches recently and we have been having fun discussing our hobby. He asked me a rather difficult question yesterday, out of all my watches which would I choose if I could only keep 6?! We had asked that hypothetical...
You cannot bore us with this question. Thought I would say that this question is not a tremendous amount of fun, but a tremendous amount of pain. :)))) Funnily, 18, I can play, 12, also. 1 most probably. But 6, I cannot. :)

If one only, it would be my Rolex 6542. But 6... Well, it is a torture! Best, Nicolas

And it was difficult to exclude them, especially the overseas Tourbillon, but I can’t say that I would take it over the AP Code or the Lange 31, the watches that it competes with in this exercise

To comfortably rotate among these six, it seems you would need a wrist the size of a giant - the “smallest” timepiece is 40 mm!

It is a dream piece for me, alwaysI loved an oversized watch every once in a while and had a thing for the 47mm pams and the big pilots extreme labs etc, but this really is the pinnacle of ridiculous high horology. Where else can you find this level of fi...
